<H2>8.2 set and multiset Operations</H2>
<A NAME="idx131"><!></A>
<P>The member functions provided by the <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> and <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B> datatypes are described in the following sections. Note that while member functions provide basic operations, the utility of these data structures is greatly extended through the use of the generic algorithms described in <A HREF="IV.html">Part&nbsp;IV</A>.</P>
<A NAME="821"><H3>8.2.1 Declaration and Initialization of set</H3></A>
<A NAME="idx132"><!></A>
<P>A <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> class template is specialized on the type of the elements it contains and the operator used to compare keys. The latter argument is optional and, if not provided, the less-than operator for the key type is assumed. The element type can be a primitive language type, such as <SAMP>int</SAMP> or <SAMP>double</SAMP>; a pointer type; or a user-defined type. The element type must be comparable with both the equality testing <SAMP>operator==()</SAMP> and the less-than comparison <SAMP>operator&lt;()</SAMP>.</P>
<P>A <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> can be declared with no initial elements, or initialized from another container by providing a pair of iterators.</P>
<P>Whether a set is declared with no initial elements or initialized from another container, an optional argument is an alternative comparison function; this value overrides the value provided by the template parameter. The comparison object must be of the type given in the template parameter.  If the comparison object needs non-default initialization, the object must be initialized and provided to the constructor for the container.</P>
<P>Note that a specialization is created for each combination of template type parameters.  More specializations require more space.  If saving space is important and two closely-related comparisons are needed for the same type of container, design comparison objects which change behavior when they are initialized (for example, an object which can be initialized to sort in either ascending or descending order).  One template specialization can avoided for each additional behavior of the comparison object.  However, performance will likely suffer due to increased overhead for the comparison.</P>
<P>The copy constructor can be used to form a new set that is a clone, or copy, of an existing set.</P>

<P>Unlike a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/list.html">list</A></I></B> or <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/vector.html">vector</A></I></B>, there is only one way to add a new element to a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>. A value must be inserted into a <B><I>set</I></B> or a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B> using the <SAMP>insert()</SAMP> member function. With a <B><I>multiset</I></B>, the function returns an iterator that denotes the value just inserted. Insert operations into a <B><I>set</I></B> return a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/pair.html">pair</A></I></B> of values, in which the first field contains an iterator, and the second field contains a boolean value that is <SAMP>true</SAMP> if the element was inserted, and false otherwise. </P>
<P>The <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/pair.html">pair</A></I></B> data structure is a tuple of values. The first value is accessed through the field name <SAMP>first</SAMP>, while the second is, naturally, named <SAMP>second</SAMP>. A function named <SAMP>std::make_pair()</SAMP> simplifies the task of producing an instance of class <B><I>pair</I></B>.</P>

<P>Recall that in a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>, an element will not be inserted if it matches an element already contained in the collection.</P>

<P>To determine whether two keys are equivalent, the comparison function for the <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> is used. Remember that the comparison function does not test equality, but instead returns a Boolean value indicating whether or not the keys are in order. The strategy used to determine equivalence is simple. Two keys are equivalent if the comparison function for the keys is <SAMP>false</SAMP> in both directions.  For example, if <SAMP>(key1&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;key2)</SAMP> is <SAMP>false</SAMP>, and <SAMP>(key2&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;key1)</SAMP> is also <SAMP>false</SAMP>, then <SAMP>key1</SAMP> and <SAMP>key2</SAMP> are equivalent.</P>
<P>Insertions of several elements from another container can also be performed using two iterators which indicate a range:</P>

<P>No value is returned. If there are duplicate values in the range, the duplicates are ignored.</P>
<A NAME="824"><H3>8.2.4 Removal of Elements from a set</H3></A>
<A NAME="idx136"><!></A>
<P>Values are removed from a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> using the member function <SAMP>erase()</SAMP>. The argument can be either a specific value, an iterator that points to a single value, or a pair of iterators that indicate a range of values. When the first form is used on a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B>, all arguments matching the argument value are removed, and the return value indicates the number of elements that have been erased:</P>

<UL><PRE>
// erase element equal to 4
set_three.erase(4);

// find and then erase element equal to 5
std::set&lt;int&gt;::iterator five = set_three.find(5);

std::set&lt;int&gt;::iterator eleven = set_three.find(11);
set_three.erase (seven, eleven);

<P>The member function <SAMP>size()</SAMP> yields the number of elements held by a container. The member function <SAMP>empty()</SAMP> returns a Boolean <SAMP>true</SAMP> value if the container is empty, and is generally faster than testing the size against zero.</P>
<A NAME="idx138"><!></A>
<P>The member function <SAMP>find()</SAMP> takes an element value, and returns an iterator denoting the location of the value in the <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> if it is present, or a value matching the end-of-set value yielded by the function <SAMP>end()</SAMP> if it is not. If a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B> contains more than one matching element, the value returned can be any one of the possible matching elements.</P>

<P>The member functions <SAMP>lower_bound()</SAMP> and <SAMP>upper_bound()</SAMP> are most useful with <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B>s, since with <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>s they simply mimic the function <SAMP>find()</SAMP>. The member function <SAMP>lower_bound()</SAMP> yields the first entry that matches the argument key, while the member function <SAMP>upper_bound()</SAMP> returns the first value past the last entry matching the argument. Finally, the member function <SAMP>equal_range()</SAMP> returns a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/pair.html">pair</A></I></B> of iterators holding the lower and upper bounds.</P>
<A NAME="idx140"><!></A>
<P>The member function <SAMP>count()</SAMP> returns the number of elements that match the argument. For a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>, this value is either zero or one, whereas for a <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B> it can be any nonnegative value. Since a non-zero integer value is treated as true, the <SAMP>count()</SAMP> function can be used to test for inclusion of an element, if all that is desired is to determine whether or not the element is present in the set. The alternative, using <SAMP>find(),</SAMP> requires testing the result returned by <SAMP>find()</SAMP> against the end-of-collection iterator.</P>

The iterators produced by these functions are constant to ensure that the ordering relation for the <B><I>set</I></B> is not inadvertently or intentionally destroyed by assigning a new value to a <B><I>set</I></B> element. The iterators generate elements in sequence, ordered by the comparison operator provided when the <B><I>set</I></B> was declared.

<A NAME="827"><H3>8.2.7 set Operations</H3></A>
<A NAME="idx142"><!></A>
<P>The traditional set operations for determining if one set is a subset of another, creating a union of two sets, finding the intersection between two sets, and finding the difference between two sets are not provided as member functions. Instead, these operations are implemented as generic algorithms that work with any ordered structure. These functions are described in more detail in <A HREF="14-6.html">Section&nbsp;14.6</A>. The following sections describe how these functions can be used with the <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> and <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B> container classes.</P>
<A NAME="827-1"><H4>8.2.7.1 Subset test</H4></A>
<A NAME="idx143"><!></A>
<P>The function <SAMP>std::includes()</SAMP> can be used to determine if one <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B> is a subset of another. The function returns true if and only if each distinct element in the second sorted range has a corresponding distinct element in the first sorted range to which it compares equal. The four arguments are a pair of iterators representing the (presumably) larger <B><I>set</I></B>, and a pair of iterators representing the (potentially) smaller <B><I>set</I></B>:</P>

<A NAME="idx144"><!></A>
<P>The less-than operator, <SAMP>operator&lt;()</SAMP>, is used for the comparison of elements, regardless of the comparison function used in the declaration of the container.

This form takes a fifth argument, which is the comparison function used to order the elements in the two sets.</P>
<A NAME="827-2"><H4>8.2.7.2 Set Union or Intersection</H4></A>
<A NAME="idx145"><!></A>
<P>The function <SAMP>std::set_union()</SAMP> can be used to construct a union of two <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>s. The two <B><I>set</I></B>s are specified by iterator pairs, and the union is copied into an output iterator that is supplied as a fifth argument. To form the result as a <B><I>set</I></B>, an <I>insert iterator</I> must be used to form the output iterator (<A HREF="2-4.html">Section&nbsp;2.4</A>). If the desired outcome is a union of one <B><I>set</I></B> with another, then a temporary <B><I>set</I></B> can be constructed, and the results swapped with the argument <B><I>set</I></B> prior to deletion of the temporary <B><I>set</I></B>:</P>

<P>As with the <SAMP>std::includes()</SAMP> function, the less-than <SAMP>operator&lt;()</SAMP> is used to compare elements in the two argument <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>s, regardless of the operator provided in the declaration of the <B><I>set</I></B>s. Should this be inappropriate, alternative versions of both the <SAMP>std::set_union()</SAMP> or <SAMP>std::set_intersection()</SAMP> functions permit the comparison operator used to form the <B><I>set</I></B> to be given as a sixth argument.</P>
<A NAME="idx147"><!></A>
<P>The operation of taking the union of two <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/multiset.html">multiset</A></I></B>s should be distinguished from the operation of merging two <B><I><A HREF="../stdlibref/set.html">set</A></I></B>s. Imagine that one argument <B><I>set</I></B> contains three instances of the element 7, and the second <B><I>set</I></B> contains two instances of the same value. The union will contain only three such values, while the merge will contain five. To form the merge, the function <SAMP>std::merge()</SAMP> can be used (<A HREF="14-5.html">Section&nbsp;14.5</A>).
